在首尔的郊区,我们通过攀登一条长长的山路,终于见到了一个深邃而平静的村庄的尽头,它过滤了我们头脑中复杂而烦乱的东西。在这里,我们忘记了繁忙而疲惫的城市生活的节奏。我们在这里建造了’Lento别墅’,这个抒情的地方让那些真正颂扬艺术和自然的人能够恢复缓慢而平静的时间流。

In the suburbs of Seoul, we finally meet the end of a deep and calm village by climbing a long mountain path, which filters complicated and distracting things in our minds. It’s the place where we forget the tempo of busy and tiring city life. We built ‘Villa Lento’ here, the lyrical place where people who really glorify art and nature are able to recover a slow and peaceful stream of time.

我们居住在首尔的客户希望有一个度假空间,他们可以与他们的人分享,以及在首尔郊区可以享受自然和休闲的空间。因此,他们购买了一座约20年的老房子,位于山顶,背靠森林,提供了一个梦幻般的宽阔视野。通过考虑如何接近这个地方,现有建筑的形式,以及客户的品味,我们首先想象出一个小豪宅,我们可以在欧洲某个安静的村庄找到。然后,我们把非常复杂的形式改为简单的房子,添加了具有时间深度的纹理和颜色,并希望它能反映自然的颜色。

Our client living in Seoul wanted a resort space where they can share it with their people as well as the space where they can enjoy nature and leisure in suburban Seoul. Therefore, they purchased an about 20-years-old house, located on the top of the mountain with its back against the forest and providing a fantastic wide view. By considering how to approach the place, the form of the existing building, and a taste of the client, we first imagined a small mansion where we may find at someplace of a quiet village in Europe. Then, we changed the very intricate form to a simple house, added textures and colors with a depth of time, and wished it’ll reflect colors of nature.

我们把房子分成两部分:一层是他们和他们的人享受休闲的地方;另一层是个人休息的地方。一楼是休闲空间,客户可以和他们的人分享食物,交流,听音乐,享受游泳和桑拿。我们把它设计成低矮和简单的形式,不限制从窗户进来的自然之美,同时也试图通过增加独特的点来反映他的品味。

We divided the house into two parts: the floor where they enjoy leisure with their people; and another floor for taking a rest personally. The 1st floor is the space for leisure where the client can share food, communicate, listen to music, and enjoy swimming and a sauna with their people. We designed it as a low and simple form, not to restrict the beauty of nature coming through the windows, and also tried to reflect his taste by adding unique points.

特别是对于有收集古董音箱和LP唱片爱好的客户的音乐室(这个地方以前是个客厅),我们保持了质朴但独特的天花板,并使用了红木,让他们在粗糙和笨拙的心情下,享受有细腻声音的音乐。二楼是休息区,包括四间卧室和两间浴室,以走廊为中心,设有按摩浴缸和芬兰桑拿。我们为每个房间安置了窗户和独立的小阳台,让他在享受自然的同时不受干扰地放松和休息。

Particularly, in the case of the music room of the client with a hobby collecting vintage speakers and LPs (the place was a living room before), we maintained the rustic but unique ceiling and used a redwood to allow them to enjoy music with a delicate sound, in a rough and clumsy mood. The 2nd floor is a rest area and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms with a jacuzzi and Finnish sauna, centering on the hallway. We placed the window and independent small veranda for each room and allowed him to relax and take a rest without interruption with enjoying nature.

客户观察并记录了设计的过程,并像个孩子一样提出了相关问题。面对他们好奇的目光,我们不禁反思自己的嘈杂和散漫。我们希望这个地方能成为一个让时间回归平静的空间,而不是一个只用于休闲或休息的私有空间,并为房子保留了 “Lento别墅 “的名字。

The client observed and recorded the process of the design and asked questions about it like a child. We couldn’t help reflecting on noisy and scatterbrained ourselves by facing their brightness in the curious eyes. We wish the place will be the space to bring a peaceful stream of time back, not the private-owned space only for leisure or rest, and remain the name ‘Villa Lento’ for the house.
